    After the Rain

    Water Drops After the Rain
    Water Drops After the Rain

    Both Friday, Saturday and into Sunday morning we had lite rain and mist, the gentle sort of rain that is hardly noticeable but everything is wet. The rain let up about mid morning Sunday. I could see the raindrops on the bushes outside my condo so I grabbed the camera to see what photograph may be given me.

    This past weekend was graduation so all around campus traffic was a mess and you might as well forget about finding a table at any restaurant. Needless to say there were all sorts of colorful umbrellas everywhere. More photo opportunities. 🙂

    I’m writing this on Sunday evening and scheduling it to post on Monday morning. And, the weather app is predicting more rain on Monday.  Hope everyone has a super Awesome week.

    As I walked out of Lory Student Center I noticed the back lit grasses and made another attempt at capturing and image I’d like. I have not been pleased with my images of back lit grasses but this one I’m pleased with.

    I love blue skies! So, after getting off the bus and walking to Morgan Library on Colorado State University campus I had to smile and point my camera to the northern skies. I find this time of the year to be a favorite. We begin to have cooler temperatures making for a better night of sleep and refreshing mornings. And, I think the blue skies are bluer! 🙂

    What Happened to the Grass?

    Not looking too healthy after scalping and thatching

    Since arriving in the Phoenix area, I’ve made 3 trips to visit my parents in Gold Canyon. A couple weeks ago I was shocked to see the condition of the golf course in their community. The grass that was green the week before now looked like it was dying, and it was. So, what happened?

    It was nice to see blue skies and sunshine yesterday after almost 4 days of constant rain. Found this image on my way to coffee.

    And, when the ground is soaked we also find a few mushrooms popping up.

    Melting snow, shadows and blades of grass

    The snow is pretty much gone after a couple of warm days but Nature is planning on sending us more moisture in the form of snow on Wednesday.  I took this image last Saturday after our snow on Friday. Nature makes simple and pleasing art.
